The photo I found on Pinterest made wanna design a mysterious and
dramatic layout. Before I start I want to give to the photographer all
the proper credits for that awesome photo.

For my background, I used two papers. The ''no.VII'' as the main one and
a torn piece of the ''no.XVIII'' which I glued it above the other.

I gave texture to my background with modeling paste and a stencil. I
used Lindy's Stamp Gang mists, the ''Cocoa Bean Copper'', ''Lucky
Shamrock Green'', the ''Endelweis Moss Green'' to color the spot where I
placed my cluster. Some splatters with ''Midnight Randervous Raven''
and a little stamping completed my background.

I heat embossed the ''Amaze yourself'' title with ''Midnight Pewter''
lindy's powder and the ''Skeleton Clock Frame'' with ''Midnight
Copper''. The ''Viney page frame'', (from which I used only some
pieces), was sprayed with ''Endelweis Moss Green'' mist. All the
chipboards I used were 2Crafty.

I made my clusters with Prima Marketing flowers and I added some ”Scrap Unlimited” embellishments to accomplish them.

Some splatters with white gesso and microbeads in ”copper” to match with the earth colors to finished my layout.

I
highlighted my paper with some white gesso and then I used white
modeling paste and a little black with different stencils to make
contrast. I created my background with ''Peony Scarlet Red''
and ''Ocean Breeze Blue'' Lindy's Stamp Gang mists.

I
painted the ''Dream Big'' title, the ''Stars'' and the mini camera from
the ''Mini Camera Set'' chippies with ''Rich Turquoise'' Acrylic Paint.
The frames from ''Polaroid Assortment Frames'' were painted with
''Aqua-Rose'' Paint.

The ''Gears'' were stamped with ''Watering Can'' Archival Ink and the big square
frame which is a left over piece from the ''Polaroid Assortment
Frames'' were heat embossed with ''Tera Cotta Red'' Lindy's
powder. ''Vintage Rose'' Acrylic Paint for the square left over piece.

Today I will share with you two layouts and two video tutorials, I made for November Inspiration at 2Crafty Chipboard.

The first one is a Christmasy layout designed with 7dots studio papers from ''Yuletide'' collection and Prima Marketing flowers.

I have also made a VIDEO TUTORIAL with the procedure.

I based my layout on November challenges over at 7dots Studio, at Berry71bleu and at More Than Words Challenge blogs. I used for something old the paper collection from last year, for something new a flair and the color blue.

Festive Music Notes
Xmas Mini Word Pack
Stars

Some close ups...

To
design my background I used ''Ocean Breeze Blue'', ''Baby Blue Eyes
Aqua'' and ''Delphinium Turquoise'' Lindy's Stamp Gang mists with a few
splatters of ''White'' 13arts Splash ink to make it look like it's
snowy.

I heat embossed the ''Festive Music Notes'' and the ''Stars'' chipboards
with
''Queen Sheba's Silver'' Lindy's powder and sprinkled them with some
finnabair's white glitter. The titles were painted with ''Metallique
Rich Turquoise'' Acrylic Paint.

I also added Finnabair's Graphite paste for more texture.

A final touch with some more white splatters and my snowy background was ready.
